I just subscribe to the notion that the simple fact of having a gun on my hip will save me as opposed to having my gun X miles away or hours at home when I am at the mall, movies, or Walmart as recent events have shown.
Like I get that having a chambered round wills save me X seconds, but I prefer the 100% safety buffer of not having a chambered round.
I have the skill/training that I feel I would draw/chamber a round faster than any person infringing on my safety and my life.

Different scenarios. I'm talking about the guns I keep in my house. I don't want to give away my position by having to chamber a round if a guy has forced entry into my house. Carrying is different. I have nothing against carrying a 1911 cocked and locked. But I also don't have any quarrel with your practice of carrying unchambered. To some extent it depends on the gun. I would carry a Glock unchambered because it basically has no safety.

Glocks actually have 3 safeties. Drop, trigger and firing pin safety.
If you carry unchambered, then you may either need more training, a new holster with better retention, or both.
